Noticing some cost cutting happening , perhaps mandate from new owner and / or new non " Aman " grown being parachuted in as GMs / joining senior team . Of course there are exceptions .
Thankfully , Puri is honouring & remembering the dietary bits .

Am not saying that new items need to be purchased . But that the Aman you were at will not be doing any purchasing if your stay was this year , for sure , as there is " cost cutting " happening ( something which didn't happen during AZ ' s days and GMs were empowered to go " beyond normal service expected " the then Aman way ) .
As mentioned , glad that they at Amans are still offering some flexibility menu wise .
Chefs are still given some leeway . Though noticed menus including Kila/ Nusa ' s have been somewhat pared down .
Fresh juices & smoothies are not unusual at Amans . e.g . My breakfast can include fresh coconut water ( presented in the chilled coconut ) along with - smoothie like yesterday's " ABC " . Changed my green apple to red , but left the beetroot & organic carrots as is .
